Communication And Community: The Impact Of Closed Facebook Groups On Athletic Trainers, Allison M. Schwartz-Strickland

Doctoral Dissertations and Projects

This qualitative research study will use semi-structured interviews to explore the motivations of athletic trainers using social media for professional collaboration. The socio-psychological tradition is used to frame the study. Communities of practice, uses and gratification theory, and the Wisdom of the Crowd model are used as the guiding theoretical perspectives as they provide a framework for understanding how and why athletic trainers use social media. This qualitative study sought to show the impact of closed Facebook Group participation on athletic trainers. How athletic trainers understand patient privacy laws when participating in closed Facebook groups for athletic trainers will also …

Evaluating The Responsiveness Of Urban Security In The University Area, Varshini Renikunta

USF Tampa Graduate Theses and Dissertations

Perceptions of safety within one's neighborhood can significantly impact overall health. While certain neighborhood features like broken sidewalks, crime rates, and visible disorder can influence these perceptions, the exact interplay of these factors remains unclear, especially among individuals with disabilities who might perceive themselves at greater risk. Individuals typically opt for routes and spaces they deem safe in the built environment, such as well-lit pathways, areas next to lively storefronts instead of closed facades, or routes that steer clear of potentially unsafe building entrances. How individuals navigate and interact with their surroundings is intrinsically tied to their cognitive perceptions shaped …

Heliophysics And Amateur Radio: Citizen Science Collaborations For Atmospheric, Ionospheric, And Space Physics Research And Operations, Ham Radio Science Citizen Investigation Community, Scranton, Pa, Mary Lou West

Department of Physics and Astronomy Faculty Scholarship and Creative Works

The amateur radio community is a global, highly engaged, and technical community with an intense interest in space weather, its underlying physics, and how it impacts radio communications. The large-scale observational capabilities of distributed instrumentation fielded by amateur radio operators and radio science enthusiasts offers a tremendous opportunity to advance the fields of heliophysics, radio science, and space weather. Well-established amateur radio networks like the RBN, WSPRNet, and PSKReporter already provide rich, ever-growing, long-term data of bottomside ionospheric observations. Up-and-coming purpose-built citizen science networks, and their associated novel instruments, offer opportunities for citizen scientists, professional researchers, and industry to field …

Body Mass Index Misclassify Obesity In Firefighters, Samuel R. Vilmeau, Peter Beitia, Andreas Stamatis, Zacharias Papadakis

International Journal of Exercise Science: Conference Proceedings

Among firefighters the issue of obesity has gained significant attention due to its correlation with adverse health consequences. The National Fire Protection Association 1582 has endorsed the utilization of the body mass index (BMI) to assess obesity. However, long-standing concerns have emerged regarding BMI's reliability in accurately representing body composition (BC), especially in distinguishing between lean and fat mass. Firefighters' work is physically demanding, which often leads to increased muscle mass, BMI use may misclassify them as obese. This can result in false positives where firefighters are categorized as obese based on BMI even when their BC aligns with non-obese …

Contactless Heart Rate Detection Using Mm-Wave Radar Systems Advancements, Amr Hussein, Mustafa M. Abd Elnaby, Ahmed M. Elkhawaga, Nessim M. Mahmoud

Journal of Engineering Research

In recent years, there has been a significant surge in the development of non-contact methods for detecting heart and breathing rates. Various Millimeter-wave (MM-wave) radar systems, operating at different frequency bands like 10 GHz, 24 GHz, 77 GHz, and 122 GHz, have been effectively deployed for this purpose. This paper explores the vital application of contactless systems in the medical field, particularly during disasters and epidemics. These systems are crucial for detecting the heart and breathing rates of individuals trapped under debris, in military operations, long-term vital sign monitoring in hospitals, and aiding the elderly in public spaces. Consequently, our …

Coming Out Of Covid: Resuscitating Live Onboarding, Patricia Shafer, Claire Hackelberg

Nursing Research & Professional Development Conference

Background: Effective onboarding and orientation processes are critical for successful new hire engagement and retention. The COVID-19 pandemic caused disruption in the established in-person onboarding process leading to inconsistency and fragmentation. Evidence suggests that structured and supported on-the-job training is the most effective onboarding strategy (Frogeli et al., 2023). A program make-over was needed.

Purpose: To redesign the onboarding and orientation process for new nurses with effective and efficient process to address issues and increase satisfaction.

Method: Nursing Professional Development (NPD) Staff collaborated with the hospital and unit managers to gather input and redesign the on-boarding process for new hires. …

More Than Numbers – Let’S Talk About Mixed Methods Research, Deborah Gentile

Nursing Research & Professional Development Conference

Introduction: There are multiple approaches to conducting research. Quantitative and qualitative research inform nursing practice, but quantitative research tends to be emphasized. At AAH, most nursing research studies (in excess of 90%) are quantitative in nature even when the research question focuses on the meaning of a phenomenon or experience of a research subject. Meaning and experiences are best elicited using qualitative methods. Using one method to answer a research question is sometimes not enough.

Purpose: This presentation will address the use of mixed methods – involving quantitative and qualitative data – to add value to a study and …

Black Liberty In Emergency, Norrinda Brown

Northwestern University Law Review

COVID-19 pandemic orders were weaponized by state and local governments in Black neighborhoods, often through violent acts of the police. This revealed an intersection of three centuries-old patterns— criminalizing Black movement, quarantining racial minorities in public health crises, and segregation. The geographic borders of the most restrictive pandemic order enforcement were nearly identical to the borders of highly segregated, historically Black neighborhoods.

The right to free movement is fundamental and, as a rule, cannot be impeded by the state. But the jurisprudence around state power in public health emergencies, deriving from the 1905 case Jacobson v. Massachusetts, has practically resulted …

Identifying America’S Vital Interests, Adam Lowther, Casey Lucius

Space and Defense

As the Department of Defense (DoD) continues to shift its focus from Europe to the Asia-Pacific while also attempting to meet budgetary challenges, academics and analysts are examining the nation’s difficult financial outlook and contemplating not only the kind of military the United States needs, but the kind it can afford. Such considerations are, however, putting the cart before the horse. A much more basic challenge faces the country. Simply stated, the United States has no clearly defined and broadly accepted set of national interests. Instead, as one report noted, “Many find it difficult to distinguish between America’s national interests …
